Technology

Here at Dr. Michael’s office we provide state-of-the-art dental technology, including: digital x-rays, a water laser, a laser cavity detector, an ultrasonic cleaner, prophy jet, intra-oral and extra-oral photography, electric dental drills, and dental magnification. All of these dental technologies allow us to provide you with more thorough, precise, and comfortable dental visits and the best results that modern dental technology can deliver.

Digital x-rays, intra-oral and extra-oral photography, and a fully computerized patient chart allow this office to be a “paperless” office, so that we may do our part to protect the environment as well. By maintaining a digital patient chart we are also able to provide you with more thorough and specialized care.
